What is Drupal?
Drupal is an open source content management system (CMS) which powers small to large websites and applications. Drupal is used to build small to advanced websites, and to power the backend of mobile apps. It is extremely flexible, and can be used to build virtually any website or web application you can imagine.
What are some websites built using Drupal?
The White House, NBC, Twitter, Ebay, Weather.com, BBC, Harvard, Stanford, Warner Music Group, U.S. Department of Justice, Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Government of Australia, NBA, MLS, NFL, PUMA, GE, Whole Foods, 2016 Summer Olympics, NCAA... should I go on? These are a few of the more recognizable names that use Drupal to power some or all of their websites. It's not only the big guys, however - even the website you are on right now was built (by graduates of this class) using Drupal!
